Let's All get along! Who loves Magaritas? And Lime Gold!

So, I've been browsing over at the turbo forum and saw some of Suzy's new photos and thought I'd ask: why do some many who enjoy tracking seem to always choose Black with Black, Silver with Black, Grey with Black, you get the idea. For me, White is not a viable option in the Northeast, and the primary colors, Red, Yellow and bold Blue are inconsistent with my plus 50 world view, so I think lime gold strikes the perfect balance of distinctiveness and luxury! especially with a Luxor interior or two-tone.

I LOVE Lime Gold.
Not to everyone's taste, but a personal favorite of mine (and very rare).

Are those orange side markers that I see??? Blasphemy!!

When I was shopping my dealer for a 991, the Lime Gold car was always in stock - had lots of monthly birthdays.

The color is really not bad, but it somehow reminds me of the colors of my parent's cars in the late 60s.

I actually think that a lime gold and black wheel/interior option would look quite nice and aggressive.

Definitely nice and different, glad you are staying away from the norm. Only problem is when you try to sell it but who cares about that right now.

What's wrong with a white 911 in the North East??

Are you thinking snow visibility for other cars?
